Simian virus 40 recombinant DNAs carrying the adenovirus type 12 E1B gene were constructed, propagated, and packaged in monkey cells. Monkey cells infected with the resulting virus stocks hyperproduced the E1B gene products in more than 80% of the cells as revealed by immunofluorescence. The products were distributed in both the nuclei and the cytoplasm, and a condensed form of fleck structure was observed in the cytoplasm. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the cell extracts and their immunoprecipitates detected the E1B-coded 19,000-molecular-weight protein but not the 50,000-molecular-weight protein. The 19,000-molecular-weight protein and the simian virus 40 VP1 protein were synthesized in nearly equal amounts.
